Most of the stuff you can buy as "truffle oil" is just olive oil with some artificial truffle aroma. It's rare to find an actual truffle-infused oil that has actually been in contact with real truffles, and it's also more expensive by far. If you have a fancy grocery store or boutique food shop nearby, you'll probably be able to find okay truffle oil. It's just the aroma you want.

Also, that little bottle you've had on a shelf for 2 years and you've only used three drops from it? It's done. Throw it out.
